Ultravate Ointment contains halobetasol propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid, as its active ingredient. Corticosteroids mimic the effects of hormones your body produces naturally in your adrenal glands, which are needed to reduce inflammation. The ointment is formulated to be applied directly to the affected skin to relieve discomfort and symptoms associated with specific skin conditions.
Ultravate Ointment is a topical medication used to treat inflammation and itching caused by certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Its active ingredient, halobetasol propionate, is a potent corticosteroid that reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.
